challenges
Traditional, hardware-based security limited Siemens’ ability to provide seamless interoperability for its 320,000 users across 190 countries
Perimeter-driven firewalls and VPNs made it difficult to offer flexible, scalable security for office and remote environments
Inflexible networking solutions could not deliver the required agility for M&A, divestitures, office and factory network segmentation, and more
phased journey
- Replaced legacy VPNs with a cloud-based, software-defined approach that supports secure remote work for all global users
- Moved beyond perimeter-based security to zero trust connectivity between users, applications, and machines across offices and factories
- Streamlined segmentation and client zone creation for office and factory environments, improving agility and seamless integration of new entities
